A FREIGHT RATE FIGHT.
The War in Illinois Still Being Pushed
Vigorously.


CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-The Illinois freight
rate war is still being prosecuted with vigor,
but as the roads are not publishing regular
tariffs, but make private rates to shippers,
there is not as much excitement as there
would be otherwise What the exact rates
from Chicago to East st. Louis and other
Illinois towns are, is hard to tell, but it is
generally admitted that they are
very low. There is little
freight being shipped West from Chicago
to Illinois poin S, Notwithstanding the low
rates, but as far as can be ascertained the
Chicago and Alton road gets the bulk of
the business. This road seems determined
to keep about 10 per cent. below competing
lines. From st. Louis the rates to
Chicago and all Illinois points are
getting as badly demoralized as from Chi
cago west. The general opinion is that the
war will not long be confined to Illinois,
but will spread to all the territory west.
Low II inois rates naturally affect rates to
points beyond as the combined locals are
less than through rates.
